We have a fish and chip wagon come to the village once a week where the small portion of chips is huge.

I don't really like chips so one small portion does three people and my six chips.

Now this puts off some pensioners from buying a meal from him because they waste so much if they can find nobody to share with.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind serving these enormous portions.

I bet I know who will explain it to me.

:-D Detective so true.
My nephews wedding reception was like that, it was at midday & many of us had set off early in the morning.

The fish & chip shop down the road did a roaring trade that afternoon ;-)

OH could happily struggle through a plate piled high with food, and want to return there again. If/when faced with that situation, I concentrate on the protein and veggies, leaving most of the carbohydrates.

Mind you, the piled plate is better than 3 peas, a julienne of carrots and a teaspoon of fish surrounded by a dribble of jus on an octagonal plate :-0

HAYLEY
SO ANNOYNG WHEN YOU PAY THE SAME PRICE,
AND NOW SOME PLACES ONLY LET CHILDREN UNDER A CERTAIN HEIGHT HAVE KIDS MEALS,NOT AGE

lololol Dizzi that is so old fashioned but something I tend to do, always give men bigger portions... :-D

SHARRON
THE EXTRA CHIPS
TAKE HOME THEN LATER MAKE CHEESE SAUCE COVER CHIPS GRATTED CHEESE ON TOP AND PUT IN OVEN TILL CHEESE MELTED,NICE

I tend to return if I have enjoyed the food, found the service acceptable and of course cost, if its good value for money :-D

I HATE WHEN THE MAN GETS LARGER PORTIONS,

Maybe that is just something else we are trying to copy the Americans with .

Does anybody else tend to not return to establishments that serve enormous portions?

I don't like wasting food, especially when I have paid catering prices for it, but there is often not much you can do with doggy bagged food when you get home,especially the extra three portions of chips that are piled upon the plate.

The child's portion would be more than adequate for a meal during the day but that is only available to people who are under twelve generally.

I find these huge portions quite daunting. Having decided where to start, once inroads have been made, it becomes an endurance event to eat what you have paid for.
